The Science Behind Retinol 0.5

Accelerating Cell Turnover

Cell turnover is a naturally occurring process during which the outer layer of skin sheds dead cells and replaces them with new cells. As skin ages and turnover decreases, the cells heal more slowly from damage caused by free radicals, increasing the appearance of visible signs of aging.

Combat decreased cell turnover by incorporating retinol into your regimen. A powerful form of vitamin A, Retinol 0.5 stimulates turnover and supports collagen production, keeping skin smooth and radiant.

Getting Started with Retinol

Retinols are a form of pure vitamin A, which is a powerful ingredient that stimulates cell turnover and collagen production to visibly improve discoloration, texture, and signs of aging. Because retinol stimulates such rapid cell renewal, irritation may occur at first for beginners. To improve the appearance of skin while reducing risk of irritation, gradually incorporate Retinol 0.5 into your routine.

The Sandwiching Method

Retinol is a powerful ingredient that improves the appearance of visible signs of aging by promoting cell turnover and collagen production. Because it is so effective, retinol may cause irritation. To help trap moisture, reduce irritation, and make your products more effective, use the Sandwiching Method.

Step 1: Cleanse skin + apply a hydrating serum
Step 2: Apply a small amount of Retinol 0.5
Step 3: Finish with Triple Lipid Restore

How to Use Retinol 0.5

Prep + Dispense

In the evening, apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Allow product to absorb before applying other skincare products. Limit initial use to once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, then every night as tolerated. It is important to establish consistent skin tolerance before advancing to a higher concentration.

Apply + Complete

Retinol cream may increase photosensitivity. Always use a high-protection, broad spectrum sunscreen when using this product. As a precaution, retinol cream products should not be used by pregnant women or women who intend to become pregnant in the near future. Though there are no reports of topical retinol having any negative effect on fetal development, always consult a physician.
